Motherboard Question

Post by z0MbA »

Quick question, does the intel X58 motherboard (as seen in this computer Newegg.com - HP Pavilion Elite E9290F(AU850AA#ABA) Intel Core i7 920(2.66GHz) 9GB DDR3 1TB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit - Desktop PCs )

support dual video cards? I plan on building a computer and I have heard good things about this motherboard, just nothing about it supporting 2 graphics cards.

Thanks!

1 PCI Express x4 (one available)
1 PCI Express x1 (occupied)
2 PCI Express x16 (one available)

Yes it does, but not sure if its SLi compatable.

Plus this thread should of been posted here instead :)

Just an FYI for the future mate

X58 Chipset - Tri Channel DDR3

P55/H55 Chipset - Dual Channel DDR3

(In relation to the i-series as i7 covers many platforms.)




Basically if the CPU is an i7 920 / 930 / 940 / 950 / 965 EE / 975 EE / 980X then it should be triple channel, anything else and there's a 99% chance it should be dual channel.
